What can Employers do?

Vilification and victimization would only affect the organization’s image and have ill effects for all parties concerned.

To avoid such scenarios and ensure compliance, employers can follow a set of rules.

Understand it

Employers must show fair comprehension when faced with such claims.

For instance, there is likely to be a fine line which divides bullying from strong personalities. Organizations can run a smoother operation by knowing this distinction.

Knowing the difference between authentic cases and illegitimate ones can be decisive for a business.

Implement Stronger Rules

Employers must establish a code of conduct which is documented. Employees must be made aware that they must fall in line with these procedures.

A business must instill robust anti-bullying policies and monitor workers closely to prevent any unwanted behavior.

Most employees are likely to have a social media presence. To stamp down on potential cyber bullying in the workplace, companies can introduce a social media policy with a clear message that untoward behavior will not be tolerated.

Have dedicated personnel to handle complaints

Human Resources department is likely to play a significant role to combat bullying and harassment.

First and foremost, managers and staff must be educated through trainings. Preparing both parties would enable them to manage situations more effectively.

The second step is to have arrangements in place to monitor and investigate claims. A proper procedure must be enforced.

Having nominated workers in place will serve the employers and employees well.
